I loved this. From beginning to end it was wonderful. A bit predictable. But I can certainly live with that. Makes me wonder what would happen if I lost the past ten years of my life. I'd lose my wonderful husband because we wouldn't have met yet. I'd be in the middle of a horrible relationship which was yet to end miserably. I'd have my mum back, but not really as it will be all in my head. I hope to god, reflecting on this, that it would never happen to me.

This was a great book for summer reading!
At first I found the book a little hard to get into and the letters written by her sister and her kind of grandmother to be a bit out of place and it seemed to make the story feel a bit disjointed.
However the story starts to come together a few chapters in and then it became a story I did not want to put down.
I thought the concept of how your life can change in 10 years was a really interesting one. It made me think about how my life has changed and wh ...more

This was just what I needed after a string of heavy books. At this very moment I'm giving it 5 stars. Not that it was the best thing I've ever read but it was a perfect summer read.

Very light, but interesting enough to hold my attention. As usual with this author, I wanted more depth from these characters and their relationships. The idea of having a bout of amnesia and getting to see your life at 39 through your 29-year-old eyes is a great concept. But the execution here left me mostly having to fill in the story for myself because the characters never developed and the really intriguing questions about the lives we lead and whether they are the lives we want were present

3 1/2 stars. It seemed like it was a little bit too long and slow in the middle for what was actually in it. I thought the character, Alice, was sort of flaky but it was interesting to see her growth and development. I liked Franny quite a bit.
